'''''URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)''''' is an identifier consisting of a sequence of characters matching the syntax rule that is named &lt;URI&gt; in RFC 3986. It enables uniform identification of resources via a set of naming schemes. A URI can be further classified as a locator, a name, or both. The term &quot;Uniform Resource Locator&quot; (URL) refers to the subset of URIs that, in addition to identifying a resource, provides a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network &quot;location&quot;). The term &quot;Uniform Resource Name&quot; (URN) has been used historically to refer to both URIs under the &quot;urn&quot; scheme [RFC2141], which are required to remain globally unique and persistent even when the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable, and to any other URI with the properties of a name. An example of a URI that is neither a URL nor a URN is <span class="external free" rel="mw:ExtLink"><nowiki>sip:psap@example.com</nowiki></span>.
